Purpose

The purpose of this SIN is to:

a) carry out Defined Test: Point Detection and Correspondence Test(NR/SMTH/Part 03/Test B08) on all multi-ended sets of points operated by apoint machine which shares a common detection circuit;

b)secure points where a wiring deficiency is identified;

c) carry out remedialwork where deficiencies are identified
